Bioinformatics for Principal Investigators

16 - 17 September 2019

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Bioinformatics for Principal Investigatorshttp://training.csx.cam.ac.uk/bioinformatics/event/3070941https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/bioinformatics-for-principal-investigators-295ef296-f98b-471c-842e-32786d63fd1eThe aim of this workshop is to provide principal investigators with an introduction to the challenges of working with biological data and to the best practices, and tools, needed to perform bioinformatics research effectively and reproducibly.
On day 1, we will cover the importance of experimental design, discuss the challenges associated with (i) the analysis of high-throughput sequencing data (utilising RNA-seq as a working example) and (ii) the application of machine learning algorithms, as well as issues relating to reusability and reproducibility.
On day 2, we will put into practice concepts from day 1, running a RNA-seq data analysis pipeline, going from raw reads through differential expression analysis and the interpretation of downstream analysis results. Challenges encountered at each step of the analytical pipeline will be discussed. Please note that day 2 is optional.
The training room is located on the first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access available to this level.

Statistics for Biologists in R

19 - 20 September 2019

Cambridge, United Kingdom

Statistics for Biologists in Rhttp://training.csx.cam.ac.uk/bioinformatics/event/2815748https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/statistics-for-biologists-in-r-f130f1e1-8d44-46e0-b02c-ed742ad66773This course is intended to provide a strong foundation in practical statistics and data analysis using the R software environment. The underlying philosophy of the course is to treat statistics as a practical skill rather than as a theoretical subject and as such the course focuses on methods for addressing real-life issues in the biological sciences using the R software package.
In this course we explore classical statistical analysis techniques starting with simple hypothesis testing and building up to multiple linear regression. The focus of the course is on practical implementation of these techniques and developing robust statistical analysis skills rather than on the underlying statistical theory.
After the course you should feel confident to be able to select and implement common statistical techniques using R and moreover know when, and when not, to apply these techniques.
This event is supported by the BBSRC Strategic Training Awards for Research Skills (STARS) grant (BB/P022766/1).
The training room is located on the first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access available to this level.

Introduction to working with UNIX and bash

Introduction to working with UNIX and bashhttp://training.csx.cam.ac.uk/bioinformatics/event/3117357https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/introduction-to-working-with-unix-and-bashUsing the Linux operating system and the bash command line interface, we will demonstrate the basic structure of the UNIX operating system and how we can interact with it using a basic set of commands. Applying this, we will learn how to navigate the filesystem, manipulate text-based data and structure simple pipelines out of these commands.
Building on this foundation, the course will use a bioinformatics example to demonstrate how the skills learnt can be applied to connecting to external resources/servers, installing specialist tools and ultimately combining commands into scripts for automation and reproducibility.
This course is targeted at participants with no prior experience working with UNIX-like systems (OSX, Linux) or command line interfaces.
The training room is located on the first floor and there is currently no wheelchair or level access available to this level.
